Copenhagen is hosting the “3 Days of Design” festival for the 12th time. This year, the theme is “Keep it real.” MyHOMEBOOK editor Katharina Regenthal is on-site to take a closer look at the upcoming trends.
What is trendy is often somewhat subjective. Yet, some things are simply undeniable, as they appear in nearly every designer’s collection. Whether it’s colors, shapes, patterns, materials, or designs–even at the “3 Days of Design” festival in Copenhagen, certain trends for 2025 are clearly emerging. myHOMEBOOK presents the three most important ones.
1. Chrome Endures
Chrome remains a trend! The mirror-like finish is found on numerous objects. Vases, bowls, and lamps are especially popular in chrome. But also candle holders, magazine racks, or ice cream cups feature this distinctive look. Chrome has a major advantage: It goes with almost everything. If you have a simple, minimalist interior style, chrome fits in and might even become a standout among the more neutral tones.
Similarly, you can combine mirrored objects with colors. A deep Yves Klein blue, a vibrant orange, a sunny yellow, or a frog green make for a great contrast. Additionally, the colors are reflected by the chrome surface, creating a beautiful interplay.
2. Colors and Stripes
In addition to classic colors like sand, greige, cream, beige, or brown, there are some colors that frequently appear in designs. Leading the way is the combination of a light sky blue, a delicate pink, and a bright red. In contrast, you often see floors, carpets, or accessories in black and white. A strong Yves Klein blue is also often paired with lemon yellow or pastel shades of it. This combination gives off a bit of a vacation vibe, with the blue reminiscent of the sea and the yellow of the sun. Other colors that occasionally appear are plum and a soft green. These shades are often combined with cream and white tones.
The colors rarely appear in wild patterns; instead, the products are kept monochromatic but combined with multiple shades. There are hardly any bold patterns, with block stripes being the exception. Here, you find classic combinations like cream and black, as well as more colorful versions in orange and blue.

3. Scandi-Chic Belongs to Copenhagen
At the “3 Days of Design” festival 2025 in Copenhagen, many Scandinavian brands are naturally present–and they stay true to their style–which is why Scandi-Chic remains a trend. Subdued tones like greige, sand, cream, and beige dominate furniture, textiles, and accessories. A material that stands out is travertine. The natural stone is often used for tables, trays, and shelves. Bright colors take a backseat here, appearing only occasionally in the form of glass vases or delicate glasses.
